Battlefield Hardline, a brand new series in the Battlefield franchise, will release this autumn, EA and Visceral Games has announced.
The game is set against the backdrop of the war on crime and the battle between cops and criminals.
“Several years ago, I was at an internal EA meeting in Barcelona with creative leaders from across the company. It was there I met Karl Magnus Troedsson, the GM of DICE, for the first time, and we immediately began talking about games – I’ve always loved Battlefield and KM was a huge fan of Dead Space, which I was working on at the time,” explained vice president and general manager, Visceral Games, Steve Papoutsis. “We started talking about different ways we could work together, different ways we could take Battlefield and action games in a new direction. It was then that this project that became Battlefield Hardline was born.”
Papoutsis added: “There’s been a lot of buzz today about Battlefield Hardline – we’re getting ready for E3 and fans found some details on our website about what we’re working on for the show. We’ve been reading all of your comments and we’re excited to be going into more detail soon on the ways we’re adding new twists and turns to the foundation of Battlefield multiplayer and more about how we’re bringing our strengths at Visceral to single player.”
An earlier leak supposedly confirmed the game for release on PS3, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC.
The game’s official world premiere is scheduled to take place during EA’s E3 media briefing which begins June 9 at 8pm BST.
